    designjunction 2014

    designjunction is a design trade show presenting the very best in product, lighting, furniture and graphic design from around the world. Every show is full of beautifully crafted objects featured against the stunning industrial backdrops of the The Old Sorting Office in London. It’s been said that designjunction has created the perfect balance between creative and commercial, “offering a much-needed alternative to the traditional trade show”.

    designjunction is also a great place to discover new design talent and up and coming labels. This year, multi-award winning designer Jim Rokos introduced a line of sculptural objects including bowls and vases and Rhian Malin presented a collection of tactile vessels created by inviting participants to gently squash a freshly thrown porcelain vessel to the shape of their hands, making each of them completely unique. Design studio Daniel Emma showed Mish Mash, their first chair handmade in Adelaide by a local craftsman and one of our favourites was new jewellery, prints, stationary and product design brand Tom Pigeon.

  • A Scandinavian Midsummer

    A Scandinavian Midsummer

    Last Tuesday we attended the press preview of A Scandinavian Midsummer, a pop-up exhibition and cafe organised by designjunction before their event at London Design Festival in September.

    Running until Sunday 29th June, designjunction have transformed Habitat’s Platform gallery on King’s Road into an impressive Scandinavian midsummer experience, showcasing the latest products from leading Danish, Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian brands.

    If you’re visiting the gallery in June you’ll be able to enjoy great artisan coffee and Scandinavian delicacies provided by Skandel, as well as flower arranging workshops organised by Flor Unikon every Saturday of the month.

    Thanks to our London-based contributor Jess Maddock for attending and documenting the event.
